Backing up your work
Back up all the files you create in case something happens to your
computer. You can back up your files to different types of media
such as CDs, DVDs, external storage media, or flash media, if
available.
To backup to optical media, you will need to purchase and connect
an optional external writable optical disc drive.
To back up several files at one time, use the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
Backup program preinstalled on the computer’s internal storage
drive. Also see
“Backing up your data or your entire computer with
the Windows® operating system” on page 136
HINT: Backing up all the files on your internal storage drive may take
a considerable amount of time and multiple CDs/DVDs. You may
prefer to use a high-capacity backup system, such as an external
hard drive.
Restoring your work
To restore information from your backup media to your internal
storage drive, use the Restore option in the Windows
®
Backup and
Restore program. Look in the online Help or your operating system
documentation for information on restoring files.
